After treatment with increased quantities of nitrogen and Azotobacter strains, activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, content of chlorophylls and carotenoids, soluble proteins and dry matter in leaves of sugar beet increased.

Keywords: carotenoids; catalase; chlorophylls; dry matter; peroxidase; proteins; superoxide dismutase
